OSTER project's Twitter
Translations of tweets from @fuwacina. For an archive of other Vocaloid-related Twitters I no longer keep up with, go here.
The foods I used for my tier names are all big favorites of mine, but lately, my favorite cafe latte [lowest tier, 300 yen] is a cafe latte you take from the freezer in 7-11 and bring to the register. The ones at 7-11 are delicious...
Chateaubriand!! Chateaubriand!!! Chateaubriand!!! [Likely referring to the top 5000-yen tier of her Fanbox.]
[Kuro: "OSTER, your new title is "Protector of Happy Paydays"! How's that, mya?"]

Today was my first studio visit of the year. Hope I can go into studios a lot again this year.
I haven't put up anything yet, but thank you for lots of support! :crying: :prayer hands: I'll do my best to update. :flex:
[Announcement] I've opened a Pixiv Fanbox! :tada: I plan to have subscriber content like past instrumental songs and more! Please give me your support... :woman bowing:
I got my Fanbox ready, and now I can't sleep... I'm all prepared, but I'll wait until daytime to announce it.
Miku-san vs. Intense Steak
[Spotify stats for Music Like Magic: "7 people listening now / Last 7 days: 7.7k listeners, 14.2k streams, 12.8k followers"]
This Spotify thing is great... The thought that my songs are being listened to right now somewhere in the world gives me encouragement.
This is true.
RT @ito_yusaku [Engineer Terminology Explained]
"I understand it completely."
Finished the tutorial on how to use the product.
"I don't know anything."
Knows so much as to actually confront the fundamental issues with the product.
"I'm okay."
Could make the same product from scratch. Alternatively, is actually the developer.
Godzilla vs. Mouth Ulcer in a Weird Spot
Someone in this huge universe catching my broadcast, thinking "There was a lifeform who's the same as me!" and feeling saved... Just thinking about that for a little makes me want to keep putting beautiful works into the world.
But in doing that, just like my past self, people might show up whose eyes sparkle realizing there was a world this beautiful, who realize they weren't alone. If there's someone who thinks that, I'm saved by that person's existence too, and can also think "I wasn't alone!"
Because I want to meet people who find the same things as me beautiful for similar reasons, I want to keep broadcasting the utterly honed-down form of what I call beautiful. I want to keep yelling that "there's somebody living like this here." Like sending out a message into the vast cosmos.
The more picky I get about making something, the more I feel that people are really lonely creatures. I can't be the same in every way as anyone else, I can't have a perfect understanding with anyone else. But because of that, the things I want to treasure and share an understanding of, I can gradually find some part of in other people. Having someone to do that with is a happy thing.
I'm able to think I wasn't mistaken for treasuring the things I think are beautiful and focusing solely on them. The existence of people who see what I believe is beautiful in the same way affirms my existence. So I'm happy.
A single landscape in front of someone has as many interpretations as there are people who see it, which is why the world is so colorful, and which is why people are so lonely. In such a world, meeting someone who can look at the same things with a similar viewpoint and call them beautiful is important, and nothing could be happier.
Even I think it's amazing that a mouse-clicker like me could make this many songs, and it's wild thinking about how many times I click in a year... My mouse is wild too for enduring it all... It's a dirt-cheap mouse with nothing special about it at all, but it's got serious guts.
Looking at it this way, I actually think I worked super hard!! And I think I can keep working hard!! I'll work hard!! Blasting through 2020!
It's a little after the start of the new year, but I compiled all the songs I worked on in 2019. I also made a bunch of stuff that hasn't been announced yet! I'll do my best again this year, so thanks in advance. :woman bowing: [A list of a lot of songs. To summarize: 9 songs on OSTER-san's CD Vol. 2, 2 Bemani songs, 6 miscellaneous songs, and arrangement of 11 songs composed by Underbar.]
Multiples! You know them? Multiples.
Which is to say Tapioca New Year isn't just a jokey song! :fire:
You're free to prattle on about the past, and it should be something you can enjoy, but as soon as you start ranking now and then to devalue the present, I'm like, that ain't no good... Lament it as you may, all you have right now is the present, so it's just constructive to think about how to live in it, and where you'll go from here...
Everytime I see someone cool and older than me, I think "I really wanna age well..."
I'm feeling more and more like an old person who talks on and on about the past... I'm really feeling how humans are creatures that want to share their feelings and memories. That can be a troublesome trait that results in the feeling of loneliness, but beauty and preciousness can be born from that too... By continuing to be human, I'm studying humans... These are my 30's...
Maybe time seeming to pass in a blink is as simple as me having gotten older... (despair)
I'm sure this is true of all early Vocaloid fans, but don't the flows of time in 2007 and the time afterward feel totally different? The condensing of 2007 is incredible. The excitement of a new culture building itself in front of you was amazing... Every day was packed.
If I keep creating, I'm sure we'll meet again somewhere.
This year, Piano Girl, Ladies First, my Tricolore Airline arrangement, Bathroom Garden, and I Wanna Be a Princess! have their 10th anniversaries... What a lineup...
That's 2007, 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2017.
If any of them applies to you, I'm glad... I'm glad...
Miracle Paint fans: "I'm generation OSTER!"
Love Ward fans: "I am generation OSTER."
Alice in Musicland fans: "I'm in generation OSTER, yo!"
Music Wizard of Oz fans: "Yo, I'm generation OSTER."
Cantabile Passione fans: "Generation OSTER, dude!"
Making incredible songs one after another definitely is exhausting. :drooling face:
[Jun: "It's Tuesday, hop. Guess I'll do my best again today, using wac-san's singing as a support song..."]
I'll do my best.
I'll overcome my stomach pain by imagining Miku-chan and Rin-chan's hot spring date...
my stomach has extreme pain
My hair was so purple on Comiket day, but already it's the lightest of light purple...
I'm glad to get 100 likes just for finishing a song... Definitely listen to it when it's debuted! :prayer hands:
Feelings are important.
When I listen to a stylish song, I feel like I've become a stylish entity! But it's only the feeling.
A song!!!!,!! I finished one!!!!,!!
Yikes, I'm gonna cry over this track, I'm crying, yikes...
I wonder how many more times in my life I'll encounter something I love unbearably... Whenever I have an encounter like that, the potential of everything explodes upward, so I always want to be looking for them.
my ****ing midi is so cool
Ahhhh, incredible... the most incredible... sound...
I'm sure it's 'cause I'm only human that I can write only-human lyrics, but!! I wanna be a god...
I have a desire not to cause anyone discomfort by putting my crude self out there, but it lives alongside a feeling of wanting to expose everything and have it recognized to make things more comfortable. They're constantly starting fights, so as the landlady, I wanna drive them out and live in peace already.
I spend my days painting a shameful life...
I'm little miss can't-read-the-room, so I don't want to cause accidents by misunderstanding the intention of people's words. Even when it comes to romance, I bluntly ask with zero hesitation, "what do you mean?" But even then, I realize and worry over my mistakes after the fact, so I'm powerless...
Believe it or not, I'm delicate. Last year, at a tsukemen noodles restaurant, an employee asked "would you like to use a hair tie?", and I turned it down like "I'm fine" - but all this time later, I'm getting embarrassed about the possibility they weren't saying "it'll probably be hard to eat, so by all means," but "if you eat with your long hair hanging down, it'll ruin the look of the store, so tie it up."
In exchange for getting a ton more clothes in my closet, it feels like it's become much harder to decide how to combine them...
It's because I love it that I keep getting ideas about wanting to make it more like such and such, but it's seriously annoying because it takes my own effort to implement those ideas, but it feels really satisfying when I do implement them, so I pile up hell in front of me time after time...
When I say making music is a pain, people who don't make music might think "So you don't like music?!" But it's because I love it that I refuse to not put outrageous care into it, which is suuuch a pain, waaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
For some reason, I had a dream about going on a date at Muzan-sama's house. He served me spring cabbage peperoncino, but the room tilted and the pasta sauce all spilled out. He had a ton of Francfranc furniture, so I was like "So, you like Francfranc."
I'm an internet old-timer, so I've done those things where you answer questions and get assigned a price value. Any internet old-timer's done those, right?
I wanna be bought for 200 million yen by the president of Sushi Zanmai too.
****ing midi creator
I'm kinda loling...
all ****ing midi
RT @KaseboyAdvance [Quote-retweeting the Road Movie instrumental] this is... all midi.... holy s***. this is all ****ing midi. im just... woah.
Your-Cast Weather Report
[Screenshot of a series of text message bubbles, all on the right side.
"If it rains tomorrow"

"Huh??"
"Take an umbrella if it snows too dude"]
I wanna be mentored by a YouTube expert...
I don't really understand how to promote YouTube videos on YouTube, but I guess keeping up with uploads there is important? :thinking face:
The views on my YouTube uploads are always incredibly scattered... I wonder why?! Are there simply less opportunities for your eyes to land on it?
The Passenger Seat Road Movie instrumental's been played 80,000 times on Twitter! Amazing! Thank you!
At this late hour, I'm devouring some black beans I left in the fridge all by myself... I'm clearly a youkai, to put it lightly.
Bass like this and strings like this. #ConfessOneOfYourInclinations
Right now, I'm doing something incredible... I wanna say it soon, this is seriously amazing.
My header alone still presents me as a person who exists, but contrary to my carefree tweets, she looks like a witch living in darkness... Who the heck is she? A different person?
Especially with her lack of recent appearances, Fuwacina-san is becoming a mysterious entity.
Putting a Twitter verified checkmark on my wishlist.
Drawing is hard, so I'll become a musician...
Miku-san vs. Cutlet Curry
Q. OSTER-san, why do the Mikus you draw have boomerangs stuck in their heads?
A. Why indeed...
That Heisei icon I drew on a whim was just too excellent as an avatar...
I made her my avatar, but that face looks kind of lewd...
Miku-san vs. Gyuudon
I want to keep finding many new likes, tossing them into the pot of my heart, and boil them to make fresh new music. I want to keep updating and moving forward. That'd be nice. And that's why I want to do a lot of things this year.
If I have talents, I think my talent is my good fortune to have become fond of music. Because of that fondness, I found people to look up to, went into a trance, found a passion, and chased after it. And now, I'm making music that packs in as much of that as possible. I couldn't have started without the feeling of "I like all of this."
I believe in the strength of the feeling of "liking," and think it's good to stubbornly, persistently dig into the things you like. In La La Land, they say it takes madness to achieve a dream. I really think that's true.
I've been encouraged by words I wrote myself at times, and I've had moments where it felt like working so hard hasn't been a mistake. To stock up a lot of those moments, I'm going to keep living the way I believe in.
Even if you're about to collapse from wounds, don't look away from the beauty you believed in.
At any rate, gotta look into how to do it...
If I streamed, would it be on TwitCast? YouTube?? It'd be a super hardcore stream, with me muttering to myself and placing notes on a piano roll unintelligibly, until all of a sudden it's become a song...
I seriously do want to try new stuff this year, so while I'm working independently, maybe I'd stream me composing in Domino in real time... Would people want to watch that...? I still need to look into a lot of how I'd do that...
"Liking is one-sided, matching is mutual" is a well-put saying.
Second verse:
I want to become slender and hang huge headphones from my neck
I Want To Become Slender And Wear Extra-Large Clothes (Lyrics/Composition: Me)
I want to become slender
And wear extra-large clothes
Not because my body's big;
With a slender body,
I want to wear extra-large clothes
It'll be just like
Eating ice cream in the middle of winter
In a warm kotatsu...
I want to become slender
And wear extra-large clothes
The law of conservation of mass might be fake.
I want to eat delicious things infinitely, but my stomach quickly fills up, and yet my stomach's still big even when I'm super hungry... The world is full of bugs.
Flat Earth??? If this planet were flat, the two of us wouldn't have met, right? That's common sense in our generation...
And also, I really love relationships where interacting with someone else lets you see yourself, and I like the line "in darkness, touching your gentle hand, I know my own shape for the first time"... Yes... I love it...
Relationships... If they harden, it feels like they'll someday break, but if they don't harden, it feels like they'll be swept away, so no matter what state they're in, they feel unstable. But I kind of like two people doing their best regardless to look for meaning and define it in their own words like that.
Give This Relation A Name from my new album is that kind of song, where the relationship doesn't fit into any existing molds, but you're a little scared of it wavering if you do nothing, so you want to give it a name that's just for you... It's a precious song, so please listen to it...
Knowing a person who's kind to everyone and thinking that's what you liked about them, but then you notice their kindness toward you might be a little bit special, and your relationship becomes more and more important from there... Aren't songs like that emotional??? They're so emotional.
By the way, I'm glad to see thoughts on the CD! Glad! So glad!!!
In Bloom Into You,
it's not just Yuu-chan and Touko-chan,
Sayaka-chan is good too,
and so is Maki-kun,
and Koyomi-chan is also cute,
and Riko-san and Miyako-san are cute,
cute, ahh, everyone's so cute,
but Yuu-chan and Touko-chan
are cute above all else
(Free verse)
In Bloom Into You,
it's not just Yuu-chan
and Touko-chan,
Sayaka-chan is good too

["CONGRATULATIONS! Cleared Puzzle Level 500!"]
Progress.
[Pierre: "Pierre's first dream of the year... It was me at Lowrys Farm doing pulmonary respiration with OSTER, arf. ♥ Eee, how embarrassing! ♥"]
In other words, you didn't buy me anything from there?
To people who don't know the origin of that, look back to my tweets in April last year!!!
Everyone listened to OSTER-san's CD already? You listened?? You listened to the end?? To the very end, right??? Listen all the way to the end, okay???
Maybe life is about the act of finding one meaning after another in ordinary things, and enriching yourself that way.
Whenever I cross some thing of turning point like this year, I tend to think about the passage of time and how I live my life. I renew my determination. The meaning of entering a new year has changed from what it used to be.
If I'm taking on new things, I want to make an effort to expand into things I'm interested in moreso than begrudgingly doing things I'm unsuited for. That's what I'll do this year... I'll do my best.
Once again, happy new year! :sunrise: :kadomatsu: :torii: Last year was a breakthrough year, but I expect this year will be one too. :peace dove: Let's break through the stratosphere! :rocket:
[Santa Toro: "OSTER, I wanna deep kiss with you lots in 2020 too, meow."]
Here's to another year.
